Salnity controls the density of sea water |
|
Answer» Typically, the salinity decreases from the SURFACE ocean to deep waters is very SMALL, from about 36 g/L (ppt) at the surface to 35 g/L (ppt) in the deep WATER, thus there is a very small density decrease with DEPTH given a constant temperature. The salinity of seawater also affects it's freezing point temperature. |
